Janet was born in Rushville, Nebraska on February 16, 1949 to Gertrude (Thayer) and William Shelley. She was raised in a large family in the Rushville and attended school there.
In 1969, Janet married her beloved husband, James R. Livingston. They made their home in Scottsbluff, NE and were married 45 years at the time of James death. If ever there was a match made in Heaven, they were it. We take great comfort knowing they are together again.
Janet is survived by her son William ‘Bill’ Livingston of Connecticut, Dana Norman (Drew) of Ohio, and Misty Livingston-West (Floyd) of Minnesota. Grandchildren; Zac, Brendon, Aleah, Jarrett Livingston all of Connecticut. Max and Garett Norman of Ohio, Chad (Brittania) West of Wisconsin, Joshua (Misty) West of Gering, Katie (Jason) Palomo of Scottsbluff, Teigen West of Scottsbluff, and Jacob West of Minnesota. Eleven great grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews.
Janet loved her family immensely. She was a wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother. Janet loved to bowl, camp, fish, crochet, quilt, sew and do crafts. She treasured listening to Gaither Vocal Band. Janet was a passionate animal lover, cherishing Lollipop, Snickers, Gracie, and Tasha through her life. She never met a stranger, she was friendly, caring and loved to plan and organize events and family gatherings.
After her beloved husband passed away in 2014, it wasn’t long before her own health and mobility began to decline. Misty, Floyd and Jacob moved back to Scottsbluff in 2015 to care for her in her home until it was determined she needed skilled nursing care. In 2020 she went to live at Heritage Estates in Gering and our family is forever grateful for the loving care she received.
Janet was preceded in death by her Parents, her loving Husband Jim, Great granddaughters Zynleigh Marie, Alabama Grace, and Great Grandson Ryatt James, Siblings Janette Howell, Mary Abbott, Morris Gene Shelly, Bill Shelly, Mick Shelly, Donna Quevedo, Dixie Hauser and Margret Ann Shelly, Tutty, Butch, Kenny, Best friends, Sally Bruntz, Joyce and Jim Einfalt, Judd and Teresa Reed and many others.
